Star Of Africa

Cremisan Cellars

Star of Bethlehem Baladi 2015

An interesting Red blend from Bethlehem.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice long legs.

Tangy finish with medium, round tannins.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet cherries, vanilla, wood, earth, barnyard, vegetables, spices, smoke and dark coffee.

Soft and smooth and very enjoyable. Feels like an old world wine.

Had it blind and called Austrian red. Wrong.

Made with local grapes grown around the winery. Organic.

13% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$20.

Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc 2010

Really smooth and barely tannic. Bell pepper, then raspberries, then a long black-currant finish. So nice with a hunk of parmigiano. — 12 years ago

Dark garnet red with some tawny edges. A bit stinky on the nose with some cheese, wood and black cherries. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium body. Notes of bark and dried cherries on the palate. Drinking well right now with a long finish. Drink till 2019. — 6 years ago

Mulderbosch

Faithful Hound Merlot Blend 2013

Big aroma of dark cherries and plums. Big middle tannins of plums, cocoa and a touch of oak. Then the dryness in the finish. Let it breathe for the mellowness. — 8 years ago

Kanonkop Estate

Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Drinking the 2010 in 2016, a year into its drinking window. Deep red colour and an enticing perfumed plum bouquet. Lovely mouthfilling plum, damson and cranberry flavours, the merest hint of sour cherry, most of the tannins having melted away by now. Well delineated and delightful. — 10 years ago

South Africa's greatest white wine? Richness. Levity. The definition of high-wire ambition. Tells a story of place (Swartland), person (Eben Sadie), and great, great white winemaking. — 11 years ago
